FINAL SCRIPT more true enjoyment of music than myself, or a better natural taste. If I had ever learnt, I should have been a great proficient. And so would Anne, if her health had allowed her to apply. I am confident that she would have performed delightfully. COLONEL FITZWILLIAM I believe you promised to play for us, Miss Bennet. (Elizabeth reluctantly sits down at the piano and starts to play. Lady Catherine takes no notice and talks loudly over the music.) LADY CATHERINE How does Georgiana get on, Darcy? MR. DARCY Georgiana plays with great proficiency. LADY CATHERINE I am very glad to hear such a good account of her and pray tell her from me that she cannot expect to excel if she does not practice a good deal. MR. DARCY I assure you, madam, that she does not need such advice. She practices very constantly. LADY CATHERINE So much the better. It cannot be done too much; and when I next write to her, I shall charge her not to neglect it on any account. Mrs. Collins you are very welcome to come to Rosings every day and play on the pianoforte in Mrs. Jenkinson's room. She would be in nobody's way, you know, in that part of the house. CHARLOTTE I thank you for your kindness, Lady Catherine. ELIZABETH You mean to frighten me, Mr. Darcy, by coming in all this state to hear me? I will not be alarmed though your sister does play so well. There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. MR. DARCY You can not really believe I am trying to alarm you; I have had the pleasure of your acquaintance long enough to know that you find great enjoyment in occasionally professing opinions which in fact are not your own. ELIZABETH Your cousin will give you a very pretty notion of me, and teach you not to believe a word I say. I am particularly unlucky in meeting with a person so able to expose my real character, in a part of the world where I had hoped to pass myself off with some degree of credit. Indeed, Mr. Darcy, it is very ungenerous in you to mention all that you knew to my disadvantage in Hertfordshire— and, give me leave to say, very impolitic too—for it is provoking me to retaliate, and such things may come out as will shock your relations to hear. MR. DARCY I am not afraid of you. COLONEL FITZWILLIAM Pray let me hear what you have to accuse him of. I should like to know how he behaves among strangers. ELIZABETH Prepare yourself for something very dreadful. The first time of my ever seeing him in Hertfordshire was at a ball—and at this ball, what do you think he did? He danced only four dances, though gentlemen were scarce; and, to my certain knowledge, more than one young lady was sitting down in want of a partner. MR. DARCY 36
FINAL SCRIPT I had not at that time the honor of knowing any lady in the assembly beyond my own party. ELIZABETH True, and nobody can ever be introduced in a ballroom. MR. DARCY Perhaps I should have judged better, had I sought an introduction; but I am ill qualified to recommend myself to strangers. ELIZABETH Shall we ask him why a man of sense and education is ill qualified to recommend himself to strangers? COLONEL FITZWILLIAM I can answer your question, without applying to him. It is because he will not give himself the trouble. MR. DARCY I certainly have not the talent, which some people possess, of conversing easily with those I have never seen before. ELIZABETH My fingers do not move over this instrument in the masterly manner, which I see so many women's do. But then I have always supposed it to be my own fault—because I will not take the trouble of practicing. LADY CATHERINE Miss Bennet would not play at all amiss if she practiced more, and could have the advantage of a London master. She has a very good notion of fingering, though her taste is not equal to Anne's. Anne would have been a delightful performer, had her health allowed her to learn. SERVANT 2 Dinner is served, your Ladyship. (SCENE CHANGE #2-2) SCENE 4 - WRITING DESK – LONDON – written on February 11, 1812 JANE My dearest Lizzy, four weeks have passed away, and I have seen nothing of him. I do not regret it; but I can no longer be blind to Mr. Bingley's inattention. SCENE 5 - PARLOR - HUNSFORD – Day – Thursday, April 9, 1812 (Charlotte enters with Colonel Fitzwilliam.) COLONEL FITZWILLIAM I have been making the tour of the park, as I generally do every year, and intend to close it with a call at the Parsonage. CHARLOTTE Colonel Fitzwilliam, welcome. Can I offer you a cup of tea? Do you certainly leave Kent on Saturday? COLONEL FITZWILLIAM Yes—if Darcy does not put it off again. But I am at his disposal. He arranges the business just as he pleases. ELIZABETH I imagine your cousin brought you down with him chiefly for the sake of having someone at his disposal. CHARLOTTE I wonder he does not marry, to secure a lasting convenience of that kind. ELIZABETH Perhaps his sister does as well for the present, and, as she is under his sole care, he may do what 37
